California MOT, Oxford Road, Cleckheaton, United Kingdom

An MOT test is an annual test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in Great Britain for most vehicles over three years old used on any road.

It is illegal to drive a non-exempt vehicle that requires a test on public roads without a current MOT, except when driving to or from (subject to insurance terms and conditions) a booked MOT Test or to have remedial work done to rectify failures in a previous test.

You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.​​
